Feeling IRL lonely about this process
We all know there are really weird parts of this whole deal when you lose a lot of weight. I am trying to come to terms with this changing body. Of COURSE there are good things: my metabolism is definitely largely fixed. I feel good. No more aches and pains. My labs look good. My body wants movement now.
And there are also parts that are hard for me to deal with. What's with all of these pokey bones and gross, that tendon behind my knee is creepy. My veins stick up. I have a turkey neck. I never know what size I am. People feel OK commenting on the weight loss.
I have a few people in my life also on a GLP1, but for various reasons I can't really address any of those issues. Sometimes I just want to be like this specific thing is on my nerves and get a little commiseration or even just listening. What I get as responses are body negative comments ("that's what happens when the bones aren't covered in fat!") or people "yeah, but ____" I recognize that people have their own hang ups and none of us are free from societal or self-judgement about these issues.
But can't I just feel a little weird or put out some times?? I recognize the good things and I think the bad things are just as valid. I'm not interested in criticizing my old body or creating a good vs bad dichotomy. Sometimes ya just need to vent.
